Welcome back Oh Queen,, Glad you enjoyed yourself..butter the housework,, always tomorrow,,, I think all the peeps are watching the tennis..so I will go back to it.. See ya.. Love Mary xxx

I'm baaaaack! Did ya miss me? The Royal consort and I had a very relaxing time in Montville. We walked a bit, window shopped a bit a, sat a lot and drank coffee quite a lot....heee heeee. We counted 12 places in the main street of Montville where you can get a great cup of coffee. No wonder I love that place. Going away for a rest also means that there are things to do when you get back......things like washing & ironing....yuck. I was very good.....I got it all done today. I hope you are all ok.....fit and happy. I'll catch you all tomorrow. Hugz and love Trifley X

Merle - email addy attached to some pictures on their way to you. :) If your hubby is interested I have more piccys on the other web site - Chit chat - Photos - The Boat is Launched :) What a good idea Mary - to copy the addresses. I will do that before we leave :)

Oh Fanny You poor sausage..What a bummer.. never mind at least we can give you our email addys again.. I print mine off when I am going away in case I need to send a email to someone while I am overseas.or away on holidays.so if I lose my addys I can at least look on my printout.. Hope everything gets back to normal soon.. Love Mary xxx

Busy day in the workhouse by the look of things. Great poem too Good for you Barb,Tony get eating those choccy bars &put my name on em. It's the closest I can get to the stuff.One square at a time that's me. Diabetic. Don't worry about me Shaz, I've got broad shoulders,{boy, have I got broad shoulders}. They'll get theirs when they least expect it.wont send 'em any pickles either or I'll put 'em all upside down like I did Laras and SHE didn't pick on me. Well,no' much anyway. Jood, I've lost your email addy.Same goes for you 'von. Cripes, see, I'm even talking like you lot now.

Hi Vonny I know what you mean when you cant get the bl..dy tent back into its original bag..lol We went and bought one of those chinese plastic bags (around $2 in the $2 shop) and we put it in that no trouble..They are worth their weight in gold in how many ways we used them,, I used to use one as a washing basket when I was caravaning.. folds up top nothing and goes in a small space in the van.. I do miss my van but that is another story and I dont miss the cleaning of it..lol....I think I miss the travel more than the van,,dont know,,,???? Had a lovely dinner tonight and used lots of herbs out of my garden and did some lamb chops..yummy... Back Later Love Mary xxxx

Afternoon. Lotto has been sent out. Tony Oz..:>))

My bookmark. Lyn - have a good weekend (wish I was going with you) Mary - no emails from TH - will have to wait till 4 Feb when I get home :(

Mary, we are considering direct debit for while we are away. Well.............. my first ebay purchase - the tent - just arrived. I managed to get it set up no problem, but I can't get it folded up and back into it's teeny tiny carry case!! cuwl Guess I'll have to make a bigger case :0 Vonny

Laurie You have a very tallented sister,, what a fab poem,, How do I get it off this page and into a email I want to send to my uncle in the UK..I have been trying to cut and paste but it wont work for me,,I am not puta literate,,,she should put all her poems in a book ,, Tony What a clever little lady you have there.. Congratulations to the fabulous Barb,,,count yourself lucky its chockolate this time and not more baked beans..lol,, Will she be at the tennis to see the big match at around 7.30.Federer (spelling) and Roddick,,should be a great match.. Vonny,, Sounds like a great T shirt,, One thing I dont have to do is go out and pay any bills,, They are all on direct debit so that if any come in while we are away they get paid automatically,, We had to do that when we went travelling so we didnt have to worry, now really love it as its done all by itself and I dont have to think about it. Hope everyone is haveing a nice day,,, Love Mary xxxx

No wonder I don't win nuffink - stopped eating chocolate - looks like I'll have to start again don't it Congrats Barb anyway - bad luck Barb didn't win it before your trip - you could have saved some money Tony - pppppppppp L'Oz - what a clever sister - cause the best bit of PHs is that we get paid to not go to work too - thank goodness tomorrow is a PH as I get paid for 9 and a half hours without having to get out of bed - lol Vonny - your Tshirt sounds interesting - I used to have a fleecy sweater with a fluffy koala on the front and some guy asked if he could pat it - said okay but hubby's in the car just there - poor bloke went as red as his hair and I walked away chuckling Oh L'Oz - sorry can only cope with my cupboards - just. It's going to be an interesting exercise anyway cos I'm such a hoarder and always keeping stuff for justin..................case Gwenda

Hurray for Barbcode - Vonny rushes away and inspects choccy wrappers :) Arvo all - I snuck out early today and went shopping, got a parking spot - it's public service payday - and was home by 11am. THEN realised I had forgotten to pay the phone bill!!! Butter. have to go out again now :( Had a really funny morning cause I had put on a T-shirt we bought in Jasper, Canada, which has different animal paw prints with names beside them. Never had sooooooo much interest in my 'chest' before LOL. And so many people started up a conversation with me as I stood in various queues. The bank lady mentioned that I should be glad they were now paperless cause I was obviously 'a greenie' and one guy in Woolies wouldn't stop telling me about his divorce!!! I said to the check out lady that it was the last time I was going to wear that particular top while shopping!!! I'll bring it to Mudgee :) Lovely poem L'oz. Your sis is very clever but she forgot Canberra Day!!!! :) That's our own special long weekend that only we get! pppppppppppppp ~~~~~~~~~~ to all, I'll be around Vonny

Laurie. Olly-daze...lol What a great poem. Typical layed back Ostraylins...:>)) Flakey. In 2005 before we took off to the U.K... i went and paid cash $1,300 bucks for a Lappy to take with us. Thats what hurts me the most...:>(((.....lol Madame buys a $3:00 block of chocky ( which she can eat as well ) and picks up one for nowt. Think i might marry her wot......just purely out of interest....:>)))))) Anna. She can spit on my back first.....hee hee Tony Oz....:>))

Hooraay for Barb - she sure is the clever one. She can spit on my back when I see her at Mudgee. Laurie - good one. And me? NOt happy Jan. Darling daughter has used up all our monthly peak time allowance - go slow until lthe end of the month. The bleedin' thing times out while I'm waiting for a new window to open! OH and daughter have had words! Cheers Anna

LOL Laurie....good one Tony, be very nice to Barb, just incase she has no use for the lappy....lol Tell her congrats and thanks, just the excuse I need to eat more chocs. Flakey

Teeheeee . . . had to share !! penned by one of my sisters Olly-daze Then lucky sods down unda ave a thing that will amaze, Every time they turn haround there jest more olly daze. They declare em when there aint enough them spoiled folks in the south, Trust me, wood I lie to you, its from the orses mouth. The Melbourne cup is jest a tad of the fings they get hup to, Seems if ya is orstralian a olly- day’s true blue. They ave em for a picnic, they ave em for the Queen, They’s the most hindulged people wut the world as ever seen. Blimey if’n ya don’t believe me just check a calendar art, Theys written there so them Ozzie folks will never ave a doubt. So that they wont forget that they don’t ave to go ta work, Them calendars remind em of their great orstralian perk. They ave Bank olly-days, and Proclamation an Adelaide cup wood’n ya know Then Anzac day an Labour Day and Foundation day gets a show. We wont even mention Easter and the time they ave orf then. Come Christmas time them lazy sods just start all over agin. They reckon theys ard done by they whinge an gripe an moan, Y’d think them bloody Ozzies lived in the twilight zone. An if they need an extra day or two to pass their pleasure, They got this institution called a “sickie” they seem to take at leisure. Ya gotta give them their just due they’s pretty smart and wise, They ave their cake an eat it too from sunup to sunrise. I ad to pen me thoughts and doubts in this funny sorta way Nows time to pack me bag an run, . . . . . tamorrows another bloody olly-day.

Arvo...:>)) from a lovely sunny day in Melbin. The morning started off great for Barb, at 9:00am and got better within the next hr. Yet....another win for Bar-code Barbie.........actually, 2 within an hr. She rang me on my mobile and said she had a grin from ear to ear saying, guess what...!!! I said, O'k i give up...what did ya win...lol 9:00am Parcel man arrived at the door with a Playstation 2 console and Guitar Hero plug in. Comp promotion was Planetrockevolution. Then at 9:30 am her girlfriend phoned her to say, has she read the newspaper.? ( Comp Winners ) B.Roach Picked up a Sony Vaio Notebook ( Laptop ) VGNFJ66GP valued at $1,500 bucks,.... second chance draw with Cadbury wrapper Promotion, and not only that, she gets to eat the Chocolate too...:>((((( Dunno why i bother working.? Perhaps i should just retire and do comps. Mind you.....i did win a $2:00 scratchie the other day. Wonder what i can buy on e-bay with two bucks..? Home for lunch, so i better go make her a sandwhich to stay in the good books....:>)) Just in case she wins the Lotto one day...hee hee Hope everyones having a great day.
